London
Start September 2020

Furloughed, not challenged, company not looking financially stable, future order book concerns you, direction of the company doesn't suit you, no potential growth where you are or you are simply not valued? I could go on…but if you have read this far and you wanted to look at a new opportunity, then this fantastic career role for a Contracts Manager, has arisen with a specialist contractor in the high end residential / super prime sector. It might just tick all the boxes for you.

This is a 10-year-old, £25m turnover contractor, that work on complex and challenging residential refurbishment contracts (traditional contracts NOT Design & Build|). They have secured a full order book until the end of 2021 with contracts going in to 2022, and require a contracts manager to join them on this exciting journey.

The schemes are valued between £2m and £8m in areas such as Chelsea, Notting Hill, Kensington and Mayfair, and they have recently secured a £10m project in Holland Park.

The successful candidate will be a fully-fledged contracts manager, with recent experience of prime central London traditional refurbishment projects.

Typical responsibilities include:

• All aspects of Programming

• Planning and Site Logistics
• Health & Safety planning
• Liaising with Clients, Architects and all Design Team members
• Collaborating with Architects and Designers Working Drawings, Client Approvals etc.

Reference J21882
Managing Director
High-End joinery projects valued from £100k - £1m in Central London
West London Based
£90,000 - £100,000

This high-end joinery company, based in West London, is looking for a Managing Director to head up its expanding joinery business.

Backed by a very financially secure 15-year-old, £50m turnover high-end residential company, projects involve the refurbishment and fit-out of bespoke / High End luxury residential dwellings. Having worked in prime high-net worth locations such as One Hyde Park and Monaco residences to name but a few, they work with leading architects and designers on both parent company projects, as well as for other external clients.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Managing Director looking to work for a small but established company that can provide stability and career progression, as well as the chance of working within the exclusive high-end market. They want someone who can help grow the business, in a view to becoming a more involved shareholder in the future. This could equally suit someone already at this level, or someone with all the right skill sets (commercial, technical, interface - see below), who is looking for the next step up.

The company currently turns over several million, from their west London factory / workshop, and the role would be reporting in directly to the company owners.

Like running your own business:
This role is like running your own business, so requires a Managing Director who comes initially from a joinery background, but has all the skill sets to run a company, with a huge emphasis on the commercial side and site interfacing / planning / development.

The role in a nutshell:
The Managing Director would be expected to run the show; must be the face for clients, do the pitch, make sure the factory is running properly, manage the factory manager (and factory staff under them - project manager etc.). They would manage the day-to-day operations; lead in times from drawings, liaise with factory team, check quality of works, and make sure all is running smoothly.

Necessary Commercial / Technical / Design Skills:
The workshop is run by a workshop manager, so actual manufacturing and productivity are largely taken care of. The Managing Director would be heavily involved on the commercial side (for example estimating, keeping track of variations, going through contracts and making sure the company is protected contractually), and must have a very good technical understanding, especially on the design side of things. The company has a draughtsman, but if they have a really detailed job, before issuing out drawings etc. drawings would be sent to the MD who would sort any issues on what they have drawn or how they are interfacing with other contractors. Examples of which might be: if there are loads of electrical aspects to the job but no allowance for access for cabling etc. or if there are a lot of door packages, are they liaising with security consultants as to how their lock systems are working etc.?

This would ideally suit someone from a joinery background (not necessarily recently but in the past) but with the above experience who understands how the joinery goes in, what problems to look out for, and interface with other trades and contractors.

An average week could typically look like this:
·Being on site, dealing with problematic main contractors
·Sitting in a drawing office
·Meeting with a client, trying to pitch a job
·Negotiating with surveyors over variations

The Managing Director would have to be on it, all the time.

Key attributes:

• IT literate
• Good communicator and client facing
• Preferably degree qualified
• Right attitude
• Drive and ambition
• Stable track record / longevity with previous employers
• Experience in High end / luxury projects
• Carpentry / Joinery background

It is essential that any candidates applying have Managing Director experience within the Construction industry, as well as High end Refurb / fit out / joinery experience.

If you have the relevant experience and would like to apply for this job in West London, or wish to have a confidential chat, then please email an updated CV to spencer @ borneltd. com / 07920 489522
